Then Came The Last Days Of May Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Dm][F][G]
[Am][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Parched land no [G]desert sand,
[F]sun is just a [E]dot
And a [Am]little bit of water goes a [G]long way,
'cause it's [F]hot
[Am]Three good buddies
were [C]laughin' and smoking
in the [D]back of a rented [Dm]Ford
They [Am]couldn't know they [G]weren't going [F]far

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Each one with the [D]money in his pocket
Could [C]go out and buy him[D]self
a brand new [Am]car
But they [C]all held the [Dm]money they had
[F]Money they hoped
would [G]take them very [Am]far

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Dm][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Sky's bright, the [G]traffic light,
[F]now and then a tru[E]ck
And they [Am]hadn't seen a cop around [G]all day
(What [F]luck)
They [Am]brought everything they [C]needed
Bags and [D]scales to weigh the [Dm]stuff
The [Am]driver said the [G]border's just over the [F]bluff

[Interlude 3]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Chorus 2]
It [Am]wasn't until the car [D]suddenly stopped
[C]In the middle of a col[D]d and barren pla[Am]in
And the [C]other guy [Dm]turned and spilled
[F]three boys' blood
Did they [G]know a trap had been [Am]laid?

[Interlude 4]
[Em][Dm][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]They're okay, the last [G]days of May,
[F]but I'll be breathin' dry air[E]
I'm [Am]leaving soon, the [G]others are already [F]there
You [Am]wouldn't be interested in [C]coming along,
[D]instead of staying her[Dm]e?
It's [Am]said the West is [G]nice this time of [F]year,

[Outro 1]
that's what they say
[Am][D][C][D][Am]
[C][Dm][F][G][Am]
[Em][Dm][Dm][Am]
